Let me put your mind at ease, also 4.98 avx has a wonderfully controled and detailed bass. :-))

New version preference?

Have to listen a bit more.
The room acoustics in 4.96 sound a bit darker than in 4.82 256/128 nop, but they are of comparable 'level'. I mean there is the same amount of spatial reverb, but the tone is darker vs. lighter or more etherical in the 4.82. This probably means there is a bit less energy in the highest frequencies. I have a preference for the lighter character over the darker character, but that's just me. The details, control and tonal balance are all just as good.

uploaded 4.99 and 5.00 sse2/avx, quite like the sound of 4.99, 5.00 is technically the best, sounds different to what I was expecting.

5.01 sse2/avx - might be the best version to date, more of everything

Control 1.6

Play 4.95 avx voice in the higher registers , trumpets , violins sound muted.

Play 5.02 avx these become much clearer , almost clinical

Play. 5.05 avx somewhere in between. Nice.

It gets complicated for me . Some versions of mqn bring out the best from certain tracks , whilst other versions do a wonderful job on other tracks , even from the same album

Glad I can now play avx, its good.

agree. from sse perspective

5.04 > 5.02
5.04 > 5.00

5.04 soundstage feels untidy

uploaded 5.05 sse2

nop... 5.05 not better. treble lacks warmth

for me, 4.74 is best. all things ok.
combine of hires + musicality
need to more micro-refinement

avx brief listen

4.98/4.99/5.00>4.96/5.02>5.04/5.05

kinda liked 5.00,
5.00 and 4.99 sticks in by head
need to retest for certainty maybe a contender for pole position
